The great Plymouth Church pas
tor is deadl Starting in life away
down at the foot of the ladder, he
steadily and gradually mounted
round after round until he reached
the topmost pinnacle of fame as a
preacher. Unhappy events have
taken place whereby his name was
connected, but now that he is no
more, let us not speak in any way
unkindly. Perhaps no man was
better known than Henry Ward
Beecher, or more lamented. The
deceased lectured in this town about
one year ago, on the subject, "Reign
OF the Common People" Those
who were fortunate enough to hear
him on that occasion, will undoubt-
eddy recall many of his striking
illustrations of the subject.

The Philadelphia Daily Nelcs has
made a bold and wholesome crusade
against swill milk dealers in that
city. The Board Of Health has
taken action, and soon steps will be
taken to bring the dishonest dealers
to justice. 1t is well understood the
wholesale sickness among children
produced by milk from COWS fed on
all sorts of refuse from distilleries
Not only were these dishonest milk
men enfeebling and killing children,
but they were likewise treating the
dumb beasts in their possession. The
Nelos should receive the heartiest
support of honest people in Phila-
delphia in showing up such scoun-
drels as swill milk dealers. The
next best thing would be to show up
those who sell the swill.

Carolina, and after two successful
verdicts sustaining the unwaranted
action of the State Government, the
Supreme Court rises to the emer-
gency of annuling both decisions
on grounds of strict constitutionality.
1t will readily be seen that this act
of justice to thousands Of CONNER
eial agents selling by sample, will
remove the opprobrium of State dis
elimination against the pursuit of a
reputable and advantageous line of
business, which can only result to
the assured benefit of the business
men Of this and other States. One
of the chief and most powerful rea-
sons assigned, regardless of the con-
stitutionality, is the assumption that
the business houses which employ
these legitimate agents pay large
revenues to the respective States
and municipalities in which they
are situated. This alone is at once
sufficient to stamp the tax as unrea-
sonable, grasping and unjust.

Not SO much more space but
more stuff. You're not likely

no rubber about them. We

cheap-in-value no-rubber kind.
Good rubber in our cheapest,
but not pure. Even the film
of silvery, frosty rubber over
the higher cost garments is not
perfectly pure. Serves its pur-
pose better not to be. Picking

done good work in raising the cross
ing near the Deer Park. This has
been an eyesore to the citizens for
long while, and for time there was
danger of the whole thing sinking
out of sight in mud. This over,
other places should be looked after
at once. Every town should take
especial pride in having the best of
pavements and crossings; not leav-
ing out the most important perhaps
of all-streets. This town cannot
fairly boast of clean streets-not
even smooth ones. The cutters are
gone over twice annually, and prop
erly cleaned and graded. Now,
instead of this, why not make all
the cutters like the one in front of
the Caskey Building? The first
cost would soon be repaid. Keep on

THERE Is some talk of utilizing
the prisoners now lying in idleness
in New Castle Jail. This ought to
have been thought of long ago. 1t
is capital idea. As it is now, the
prisoners have nothing at all to do,
and are an expense to the State.
Let them work and thereby save the
taxpayers few dollars. The Legis-
lature should look after this matter.
Get the prisoners used to honest
work, and perhaps they will stick
TO 1t after they get outside the walls.
